My Superbug

since im actually making progress again finally i thought i mite share, and because i got a digital cam for pics to share... just cutting rust these days, dont know what else to say, have questions ask if you wish... check it out

background info, its a 71 superbeetle, your average condition cheap super i guess, got plans in the works for it, you will see as it progresses, its been daily driven, driven up from sydney to newcastle then brisbane, while ive been trying to work on it, so been in 3 garages in about 3 months, that was awhile back, now im resting it after the big trip, and ive striped it, cleaned it up abit, so its a very bare shell, well paint is there, replacing metal currently, well holes with metal, get it back on the pan, then off again for the next phase, paint! thats the details ill say so far, pics say more i guess...
When 1 1st got it

aussuper did you measure the door gaps before you removed the doors so if one side is tighter than the other you can make adjustments while the heater channels are removed .keep the pics coming
